My guess is Lori Pinson's shift started at 2PM and the weather department at Fox 2 was completely unstaffed prior to then.

Once Channel 2 started to actually dispense weather warning info, they did a great job. Too bad this good coverage didn't occur on a more timely basis. As a point of comparison, I saw the first break-in on channel 7 just before 1PM.

I dont know how big of a role she actually had on the technical side but personally, since Jessica Starr died, I dont really like the FOX 2 weather team anymore. Pinson and the other girl that got her minutes increased are completely "meh".

OTOH, The EAS system keeps breaking into both WMMQ and 107one in Ann Arbor.

WMMQ was in the midst of a CHOICE Van Hagar cut when I heard the "eeeee. eeeee. eeeeee." to inform me of a storm in Grand Rapids. Flip through the dial, land on 107.1, and THEY get interrupted. I don't see anything of note on the radar, yet hear loud rumbles here in Brighton.

TBH, I wasn't aware of any weather events today until it got really dark around 1pm. And it's been a fkn circus around here all day. We lost power briefly around 1:30 or so for 20 minutes. It's been on since.

Another big boom right now just scared the kids. Wtf.

I see some nasty stuff coming this way right now on the radar. Let's see if it lives up to the hype.
